Hello, my name is Michael. I am a student at Punxsutawney area high school. The things I like to do are play sports and hangout with friends and family. The sports I play are baseball and basketball and I like to play football with my friends. My favorite sport is baseball. I love watching the Mets, Steelers, Panthers, and Penguins. I really hope that all of my favorite teams do good this year. My favorite class is American History. I like to learn what happened back in the past and how life was then. I am a fun person to be around. When something has to get done I get it done and don't put it off. I like school and want to do my best in it. I want to go to college when I'm done with high school and try to be in the medical field some day. That's really all about me.
White Pine
Name: White Pine
Scientific Name: Pinus Strobus
Coniferous
Needles
Bundles of needles
Organism that infects the tree is the white pine blister rust.
Its a habitat for the Common Crossbill and squirrels.
They trees in my class are in common because it has needles and pine cones.
The commercial use of the tree is for ship masts, lumber, Christmas tress, food and medicine.
The twig characteristics are slender, flexible with rusty hairs when young, later smooth. Buds egg-shaped, usually less than 1/2'' long, gray-brown.
The tree is also found Native of PA at Northeast America and Southeast Canada.

American Larch
Name: American Larch
Scientific Name: Larix Laricina
Organism that infects the tree is bark beetles.
Its a habitat for bud moth and a spruce spider mite.
The commercial use of the tree is knees for wooden boats and snowshoes.
The twig characteristics is at first its covered with blusish white coating, becoming dull brown and with numerous short spurs. Buds round, small, 1/16'' long, dark red
The tree is also found Native to PA at Northeast America and Southeast Canada.

Classification of Marine Bacteria
1. The dichotomous key steps are organized with two alternatives to the question to identify the organism.
2. The purpose of the dichotomous key is to identify the organism by using the questions and finding the results.
3. The characteristics that were used were ones that if you did something or have something and then the opposite of that answer. Then you answer the one that best fits you.
4. The Elphidium is the bacteria that is most like me.
5. The Emiliania huxleyi is the bacteria that is most different from me.
Evolution
The process of evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through positive generations. The difference in results from interactions between processes that introduce variation into a population, and other ways that get rid of it. Some mechanisms and processes are adaptation, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, natural selection, and speciation. An example of evolution would be speciation where species diverts into many different species. These events have gone way back to tree life and fossil record and genetic changes in living organisms over generations.
Biomolecules in Food
I think that the proteins and carbohydrates will be present in the potatoes. Also there will be starch. I don’t think that it will have fat
I think the carrots will have proteins and carbohydrates. The carrots also will have starch in them. Then carrots won’t have fat.
1. The biomolecules that were in the food substances i tested for in the carrots were starch, fat, and sugars. In the potatoes there was starch and fat were the biomolecules for the potatoes.
2. Yes i think certain biomolecules have the same catalase reaction, but i also think that some don't. Because all of the reactions with my food didn't react at all and on some of the other peoples did. And some of my food had certain substances in it according to the first test, but not the catalase one.
3. Another result that i found was that all of the foods that we tested for had at least one of the substances we looked for.This means that there is always something in food that you should always know before you eat it.
Catalase Activity
1.The results i got from the activity was that the carrots and apples really didn't have a big reaction with any of the peroxide temperatures. The highest reaction i got was at three for the carrots. My chart shows the five apples and five carrots and the temperature they were in and how high the reaction was for them. I learned that there are many different ways to look at things when you do the testing with a big group, and how that a lot of foods have things in them that we didn't even know about. The thing that was surprising was that the carrot for my testing didn't really have any reaction and i put one for every category. I can connect that if the enzyme reacts with the food it has catalase present, and the less it reacts the less it has catalase. Also not every food had catalase in it.
2. Shown above.
3.Where is catalase found?
Catalase is found in almost all living organisms. Its in the cell organelle known as peroxisome. It the decomposes peroxide in the organism and then turns it into oxygen and water. http://answers.ask.com/Science/Chemistry/where_is_catalase_found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalase
Lab Report
In this lab Dakota and I had plant f. The color of our first pigment was dark green, the second was light green, and the third pigment color was yellow. The RF of our plant was at first it was .125, the second RF value was .35, and the third RF value for our plant was .5. The centimeters of the pigments really described how the pigments came out through the lab and the furture up the paper the color got thinner and harder to tell. I only saw that there was one group the had plant f and it was us so it was hard to have any help on the conclusion on the RF values to determine the pigment colors, you can't tell the pigment color by just looking at the paper u have to look at RF values and the centimeters of yourselves and other groups.
Light Intensity Activity
Light intensity is the several measures of light.
The greater wavelength the greater energy and the less wavelength the less energy.
Pigment colors are materiel that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength.
Wavelength and light intensity is important to photosynthesis because if there is more light energy there will be more wavelength and if there is less energy the less wavelength. So its important because a plant wants to have the maximum ATP and it could have that if these two processes didn't happen and work together.
I have learned that 425 wavelength was the best for the light intensity and that the light intensity needs the perfect amount of wavelength to have the maximum ATP. The simulation was a little bit hard because you couldn't miss one step or your results would be wrong. Also the simulation seemed like it went on forever. So this whole simulation was to show us how the light reaction of photosynthesis worked and how it uses ATP.
Yeast Lab
Radius-1in
Circumference-6.28in
Volume-12.57in
1.One conclusion that i have is that the flour with the higher % of sugar solution and water made the bigger bread for our group. Another conclusion that i have is that the person that used the bigger amount of solution had the most to eat and the bread with the most had a better taste.
2. The dependent variable was the different amount of sugars that we used for the bread. It was this because it changed. The dependent variable is the yeast and the amount of flour used. This is because it stays the same.
3. The yeast likes warm environments, so it can rise. The sugar changed the results by the more of the concentration the more that the bread rose, and the one with less concentration didn't rise as much.
4. The more % of concentration the more that the bread rose. So the 10 and 7% rose more than the 5 and 3% bread.
5. The yeast had anaerobic respiration because when glycolysis happened it brought CO2 and made the yeast rise.
DNA Replication Model
Key:
circles-phosphate
squares- sugars
The lines with the letters are bonds.
The DNA helicase unwinds into the double helix with sugars, bonds, and phosphates.
The hydrogen bonds between bases are broken by the DNA, and each helix becomes a separate one.
The left side is copied to the right side with the same sugars bases, bonds, and phosphates.
DNA replication is when the DNA copies itself over and over again. The phase where mitosis happens is the DNA is about to split and make a separte DNA.
